really I don't like either rendition because, frankly they are unrealistic. paint is the last thing you will do, talking about it now when there are so many other things to figure out is counter productive.
Interesting line of thought. I personally like to get a vision of what I want to build...and if a photo-shopper pal can do that...then so be it. I then build the bike to what I had envisioned, which is hopefully either close to, or better than what I had envisioned. I guess for me, again personally, its nice to see the end, and figure out along the way how to get to that end.
here is a link to a GSXR 600 street fighter build I am just about done with:

This bike is basically coming out just like a drawing that I did when I first started with a pile of parts, shown in the first pic on links build page....warning.....extremely pic heavy.
So, "counterproductive" is relative to who is doing the building I suppose.
Also interesting to me is the "performance" concerns for the tires. I am not gonna try the performance side of this bike too much....its really more of just a fun project bike. I am gonna get a good tire that I can trust...white wall or not, but certainly not gonna push the boundaries of handling on a 30 year old machine.
I wanna get a knee down, trust me, I do it with more current, more performance based bikes:
